FARGO, N.D.--Former North Dakota State University all-region shortstop Logan Moreland has signed to play professionally for Collecchio Softball of the Italian League.
Moreland (Woodland, Calif./Woodland H.S.) is the fourth NDSU softball player to compete professionally overseas, and joins former all-region pitchers and teammates Krista Menke (Italy/Netherlands) and Whitney Johnson (Netherlands), along with former All-American catcher Shelly Rhein (Italy). Menke won the Brewskeez Sports Cafe International Athlete of the Year Award last season.
Moreland hit .410 with 13 home runs, 49 runs batted in and 55 runs scored last season as a senior. The 2016 Summit League Player of the Year, she led the Bison with 32 stolen bases, 23 multi-hit and 16 multi-RBI games. Moreland was named to the NFCA All-Midwest Region second team, the all-Summit League first team and all-tournament team. She was selected the Summit League's April Female Athlete of the Month and was a two-time Summit League Player of the Week. Moreland was also a NFCA All-America Scholar Athlete and Summit League Distinguished Scholar.
North Dakota State finished with a 39-15 record including 17-0 in the Summit League to claim its fifth straight regular season championship. The Bison won their third straight Summit League tournament title to advance to the NCAA tournament for the seventh time over the past eight seasons. The Bison reached 30 wins for the 10th straight year.
